'RHONY' alum Bethenny Frankel exposes Bravo for cast's disturbing behaviour amid racism allegations against Ramona Singer

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The 'Real Housewives of New York' alum Bethenny Frankel has recently exposed Bravo and made some shocking claims against the network. The reality star's bombshell revelations came soon after Ramona Singer was accused of racism.

Frankel has recently fully exposed what she believes was a 'systemic rot' hidden behind the scenes of the network's many hit programs. According to a bombshell Vanity Fair exposé, she detailed the scene when Luann de Lesseps' fiance cheated on her.

The reality star revealed to the outlet, "I was talking to producers about how we're going to bring into the show that Luann's fiancé has cheated on her," a person with knowledge said Frankel acted on her own accord, "or a producer comes in and tells me that somebody is trying on wedding dresses when they’re not engaged, and I bring that into a scene."

Back in August, a bombshell letter revealed that 80 reality stars had teamed up to accuse Bravo of 'covering up sexual violence, condoning revenge porn, exploiting minors and denying mental health treatment'.

Frankel's revelations come after Ramona Singer was accused of using the N-word with a Black 'RHONY' crew member and saying that 'most' Black people do not have present fathers in a new bombshell report.

Ramona was at the centre of multiple racial-based complaints within Shed Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, Bravo, and NBCUniversal. According to a Vanity Fair report, Ramona has been alleged of 'racial hostility' and use of the N-word came from a conversation with a black crew member during season 13 production.

During the season, Eboni K. Williams was the first to feature a black cast member on the Bravo show. The report also claimed that the cast of the reality series participated in a 'virtual education session' which centred on the topic of race and what types of commentary were okay to say while cameras were rolling.

Leah McSweeney files a discrimination complaint against Bravo after filming 'RHUGT'

Leah McSweeney recently revealed that she filed a discrimination complaint with the EEOC against Bravo after filming 'Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip' earlier this year. The reality star and her lawyers' March 10 filing cited an alleged violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to Vanity Fair.

In a wide-ranging investigative piece on the franchise, McSweeney described her tumultuous time on the show, from relapsing on Season 12 of 'RHONY' to missing her grandmother's death during a Hamptons trip the following year.

The tragic loss led to a major depressive episode, with McSweeney going on to spend eight days at a psychiatric hospital. After quitting the series over the phone, McSweeney subsequently agreed to do a week of 'RHUGT' filming for $250,000, during which many of her fellow cast members encouraged her to drink.

Meanwhile, McSweeney and Eboni K. Williams noted that producers did not suggest curtailing Morgan’s on-set drinking, even as they instructed cast members to discuss it.

Eboni K Williams rejects Bethenny Frankel's offer to join reality TV star union

Bethenny Frankel reportedly reached out to Eboni K Williams before the bombshell exposes and the formation of her reality TV star union. 'RHONY' alum called for a union among Bravolebrities, and multiple reality TV stars joined her force except Williams.

However, Williams didn't agree with Frankel's idea and rejected her offer. Williams said about Frankel, "F*** Bethenny Frankel."

When Vanity Fair asked about the two joining forces, Williams responded, "You think I’m going to let some white girl speak for me with my experience with a multibillion-dollar corporation?"

Why did Bethenny Frankel quit 'RHONY'?

Bethenny Frankel revealed in a TikTok video why she exited 'RHONY' after season 11. She addressed the speculations that she "left the Housewives because of money."

Frankel said, "If I stayed, it would have been because of the money. I left because I wanted to leave. I was ready to leave, and I used a technicality deal point as my excuse." She continued, "I had just lost someone very close to me, and I went to work when the show came back."

Frankel further noted, "I didn't want to. Pros play hurt. I'm a professional. I show up on time, I deliver. That's my reputation in business."
